At Valencia, Spain:

At Villeneuve-d'Ascq, France:

Hakim Ziyech (2') and Quincy Promes (59') each scored a goal as Ajax Amsterdam climbed up to the top of the Group H standings following their 2-0 road win over LOSC Lille, who were knocked out of European competition.

It turned out to be Quincy and Hakim's excellent adventure as the two are seen here celebrating as the Dutch champs climbed past Valencia and Chelsea to the top of the group standings.
